 Everyone loves bacon. A renovation of Line’s popular Sir Francis Bacon, this new cut comes in two widths: the powder-focused 115, and the 108 that we tested. The 108 is an all-mountain, park-friendly freeride ski with a symmetrical flex pattern, twin-tips, and a versatile 17m sidecut. In the mix of powder, soft groomers and tracked-up trees and moguls we encountered on test day, the 108 excelled, receiving many comments about its easy turning. “The tips engage really well for the waist width,” said ex-racer Robin Moffatt. “It’s strong, quiet and manoeuvrable.” Like most Line skis, the Bacon comes loaded with durable materials, like a maple wood core for energy return, dampness and, well, because maple goes well with bacon.

Ryan Stuart has a ski for every possible condition and a jacket to match. Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
